Just a quick post about when to fish for Mackerel.
I only remembered this today while I was driving to the sea. It is a very simple rule that I was told many years ago and I remember that it works as a basic rule of thumb.
Its as simple as when you start to see flocks of Swallows there will be shoals of Mackerel. The Swallows get to different areas at different times depending on a number of variables, likewise the Mackerel.
So there you have it, your answer to When can I catch Mackerel from the shore
Let me know if it works for you???
